Class OutputPropertiesFactory

java.lang.Object

org.apache.xml.serializer.OutputPropertiesFactory

public final class OutputPropertiesFactory
extends Object

This class is a factory to generate a set of default properties of key/value pairs that are used to create a serializer through the factory SerilizerFactory. The properties generated by this factory may be modified to non-default values before the SerializerFactory is used to create a Serializer.

The given output types supported are "xml", "text", and "html". These type strings can be obtained from the Method class in this package.

Other constants defined in this class are the non-standard property keys that can be used to set non-standard property values on a java.util.Properties object that is used to create or configure a serializer. Here are the non-standard keys:

• S_KEY_INDENT_AMOUNT - The non-standard property key to use to set the indentation amount. The "indent" key needs to have a value of "yes", and this properties value is a the number of whitespaces to indent by per indentation level.
• S_KEY_CONTENT_HANDLER - This non-standard property key is used to set the name of the fully qualified Java class that implements the ContentHandler interface. The output of the serializer will be SAX events sent to this an object of this class.
• S_KEY_ENTITIES - This non-standard property key is used to specify the name of the property file that specifies character to entity reference mappings. A line in such a file is has the name of the entity and the numeric (base 10) value of the corresponding character, like this one:
  quot=34
  
• S_USE_URL_ESCAPING - This non-standard property key is used to set a value of "yes" if the href values for HTML serialization should use %xx escaping.
• S_OMIT_META_TAG - This non-standard property key is used to set a value of "yes" if the META tag should be omitted where it would otherwise be supplied.

static String	S_KEY_ENTITIES This non-standard property key is used to specify the name of the property file that specifies character to entity reference mappings.
static String	S_KEY_INDENT_AMOUNT The non-standard property key to use to set the number of whitepaces to indent by, per indentation level, if indent="yes".
static String	S_KEY_LINE_SEPARATOR The non-standard property key to use to set the characters to write out as at the end of a line, rather than the default ones from the runtime.
static String	S_OMIT_META_TAG This non-standard property key is used to set a value of "yes" if the META tag should be omitted where it would otherwise be supplied.
static String	S_USE_URL_ESCAPING This non-standard property key is used to set a value of "yes" if the href values for HTML serialization should use %xx escaping.

OutputPropertiesFactory

public OutputPropertiesFactory()

Method Detail

getDefaultMethodProperties

public static final Properties getDefaultMethodProperties(String method)

Creates an empty OutputProperties with the property key/value defaults specified by a property file. The method argument is used to construct a string of the form output_[method].properties (for instance, output_html.properties). The output_xml.properties file is always used as the base.

Anything other than 'text', 'xml', and 'html', will use the output_xml.properties file.

Parameters:

method - non-null reference to method name.

Returns:

Properties object that holds the defaults for the given method.
